Welcome Home is a Children's Book designed to educate and prepare children for pregnancy, labour, birth and the first postpartum moments. It takes the reader, on a journey of discovery from pregnancy, to midwifery care and preparation for a home birth. As you flip through these brightly coloured pages you will be greeted with ways to prepare for all the natural occurrences in labour and delivery.

This book was designed as a conversation starter for you and your family, a chance to prepare for a home birth, to instil that birth is a beautiful natural occurrence and something that needs not to be feared.
